Abstract:This study aimed to confirm changes in biomarkers of erythropoiesis and iron metabolism and serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) during darbepoetin-α treatment and then switching to the hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor roxadustat. A total of 28 patients on hemodialysis who received weekly doses of darbepoetin-α were switched to roxadustat. Biomarkers for erythropoiesis and iron metabolism and intact and C-terminal FGF-23 were measured in blood samples collected before the HD session … Show more
